I think it will be a gradual change, both to gradually improve the technology and to get users used to it.
I drove the new Volvo V90 for a couple of weeks a while ago and it of course have the adaptive cruise control and those things you are used to these days but it also can drive itself similar to a Tesla autopilot.
At first it was a pretty weird feeling that the car controlled the steering wheel (you still need to hold it otherwise it will beep at you) but gradually I got used to it and started to trust it more and more. At least when driving on the highway and after a while it became a really nice feature to have.
Truly autonomous cars are of course far away and the problems with snow storms etc. also needs to be solved but I do think more and more car manufacturers will keep adding one feature after another until we suddenly are there. And at that point it won't be that big of a leap for us mentally.
